• Bootstrap sets basic global display, typography and link styles. (You can see this in scaffolding.less)
• Bootstrap also normalizes basic browser rendering using Normalize.css
• Responsive web design is a design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal viewing experience—easy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling—across a wide range of devices (from mobile phones to desktop computer monitors). Wikipedia
• Thinking of the user’s needs instead of ours.
• Adapt to various device capabilities instead of configurations.
• Help future-proof our sites.
• A flexible, grid-based layout,
• Flexible images and media, and
• CSS3 media queries.
• Bootstrap includes a responsive, mobile first fluid grid system that scales 12 column units to the device width size.
• The MOST IMPORTANT part of this presentation.
• Grids must be placed within a container. The container type changes behavior and sizing.
• Includes 200 glyphs from Glyphicon Halflings.
• Don’t mix with other components.
• Only for use on empty elements that have no child elements.
